Indian shares reached record highs for the second consecutive session, driven by state-run companies and energy stocks on expectations of continued capital expenditure. The NSE Nifty 50 closed 0.29% higher at 23,465.60, while the S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.24% to 76,992.77. State-run firms and lenders saw gains of 4.94% and 2.5% for the week, as key ministers were retained in the new government's cabinet, boosting policy continuity. Oil and gas stocks rose by 3.41%, while IT stocks declined by 1.62%. Domestically focussed small- and mid-cap indexes continued to outperform the benchmarks. Ultratech Cement saw a 7.5% gain on hopes of policy continuity benefitting infrastructure companies.
